Keyperson Insurance

People are business assets and the loss of a key person, or a business owner, can have a devastating effect on the business in respect it could cause a financial strain and result in a loss of profits.

Key person insurance helps to meet the financial consequences arising on the death or incapacity of a key person. A life Insurance policy for an agreed sum is set up which is paid into the business on the death of the key person.

Partnership/Director Share Purchase

In the event of the death of a Partner or Co-Director then the remaining co-owners will have to fund the purchase of their share of the business from their estate. If there is no provision for this then the effects on a business can be devastating both for the business itself and the family members of the deceased. Indeed you could end up with a sizable share of the business owned by a family member who has no interest or ability to run the company, or who might even sell to someone else (possibly a competitor).

Partnership or Director Insurance provides a life insurance policy for an agreed sum which should be sufficient to purchase that share of the business.
